Where is the rain?

Day 192 Wednesday (Miercoles) - Playa Coronado

The season it is a changing down here in Panama. OK so it is still nice and toasty warm (HOT) but you can actually feel the humidity creeping in more as the rains have been falling. Actually wet season has started off kind of slow this year, we are now mid-April and we have seen only a few days of rain and not very much at that. But all of us down here know, when it kicks into high gear we will be quite wet.

Actually, the little bit of rain we have received has made a noticeable difference in the landscape, grass is turning greener, the mountainsides are blooming, so it is starting.  Many folks we talk to say they like rainy season better than dry season, as the country becomes much more beautiful with the greenery versus the dry dusty brown look we all have been looking at for months now.  The rain by the way usually will NOT wipe out your full day down here, it will rain most days in mid to late afternoon and give you a good washing for a few hours and then go away. I say usually this happens but you never know when that will change.  Plus it is kind of nice to see clouds blocking the sun on and off, although we love the sun it can be quite burning when you are 9 degrees north of the equator.
